I kind of like AS also now after thinking about it. The only reason for => 
is that oracle used it, nothing else.

As I wrote in another mail, I will check out sql200x.

The only question now is if it should be that we call the function with 
the variable x AS the value 13, or if we call the function with 13 AS the 
variable x. I.e.
 foo (13 as x)

or
 foo (x as 13)

I don't know if one is more natural then the other in english. To my
swedish ear both sounds as good. I like (x as 13) a little better, but I
don't really care much what way around it will be.
